I got my best tank ever yesterday. 400.4 miles with 13.70 gallons. Not only was the 29.2 mpg my best ever mileage, it was the first time I ever got 400 miles out of a Rondo tank.

I removed the roof rack crossbeams and cut the A/C use to 20% of the time (it's still stubbornly warm here in Ohio). I'm guessing most of the fuel economy jump came from the reduced A/C use, but the crossbeam removal was still worth it--quieter ride on the freeway, and snow removal will go quicker.
